Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who finds my blog to be something interesting! I hope you have found some inspiration or a giggle at least. I did start this blog to document my love and must for travel and now its turned into my monthly pondering which some of you have obviously found of some interest! Stay tuned..

on that note..
I want to express some things that I am inspired by. I'm inspired by vegetarians, car-less, organic filled kitchens, 10% of profit to charity kind of individuals. People with devotion. People that do something that is difficult but its worth it because they truly believe in what they are doing. Even things I don't necessarily relate to such as waiting until marraige or veganism, I respect the crap ot of those people. This is something I REALLY wish I was better at. I've done the same to some extent, boycotting exxon/mobil gas (which is a horrible company) but I have realized I've done this when the other option is just as easy. Although a mobil gas station is right here, I can drive down the street to a shell station and all is right in the world.
I rescently gave up alcohol for a month and that was HARD, but in the end the challenge was met and totally worth the accomplishment. I want to step it up, and sorting out how I can do so. In a prfect world I would buy strictly organic, drive a fuel efficent car, have an energy effiencent home, buy only sweat shop free clothing, donate 10% of my sallary to my faovirte charity and sooo much more. But what it comes down to it money. It's exspensive to live that lifestyle and as a college student, money is the last thing I have.
I think its the absolute duty to someone who CAN afford these things, to do so. It's not an excuse to say I can't afford to do these things, but it is to say I can't do anything. It's incredibly out of my charater to do things I do not support and yet I continue to do so. Being that it is the begining of the 23rd year of my life, I WILL make it an absolute goal to be more devoted to what I believe in.
